Question : select only uppercase words from a table column

How does one do that? And how about for lowercase? Thanks MJ

Answer : select only uppercase words from a table column

Does the table column/field in question contain just one word or does each field contain mutiple words?

If it is simply the case that the whole field is to checked then cut paste the following function into a module.

Function StringCaseCompare(MyString As String) As String

If StrComp(MyString, UCase(MyString), 0) = 0 Then
    StringCaseCompare = "UPPER"
ElseIf StrComp(MyString, LCase(MyString), 0) = 0 Then
    StringCaseCompare = "LOWER"
Else
    StringCaseCompare = "MIXED"
End If

End Function

then create a query along the lines of ...

SELECT MyTable.MyField
FROM MyTable
WHERE StringCaseCompare([MyField])="UPPER"

to retrieve the Upper case fields.
